hi guys

am chasing the driver's side mounting clamp (both bits) and nuts for the exterior sunvisor. Am in Perth.

Both bits ?
Each side of the sunvisor has 2 bolts which are part of the visor, an L shaped bracket and 2 domed nuts. Which parts do you need?

hi Ken
hmmm .. one bolt on the driver's side snapped off and is now one (rusted tightly) with the domed nut, so it looks like I'm knackered.  I thought the 'inside' bracket with the bolts was separate to the sunvisor.  I've glued the domed nut back onto the stainless steel piece and have wedged some thin strips of rubber between the sunvisor and the gutter to take up any movement. Its looks fine and is holding okay at the moment but would prefer it to be secured properly.  ah well, will just have to keep an eye on it and keep away from any high speed runs!

So really all you need to do is remove the broken bolt from the visor and buy a new countersunk head bolt similar to what came out and replace it. I can probably find a replacement domed head nut to match the originals.

thanks for the tip Ken, will do.  I'll drill out the broken bolt from the domed nut so that should be fine.
